For since God the Law giver died, that Law which He gave did not have a prayer to continue in power. The Law Giver and the Law He gave tasted death at Calvary but only one of them rose back up and it was only Jesus the King of kings, the Lord our Redeemer. Then when Jesus rose back up from the dead unto the Father, our new and living way unto the Father was established. Jesus bearing his own witness to this fact saying, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes unto the Father except by Me. Jesus and his passage from the Cross back up to the Throne is the true way and the only full assurance, and only Jesus himself is the eternal life of all them that believe. He is our Savior. He is the only breath of eternal life in this world given us from heaven. (Colossians 3:104).

The law of sin and death loses every time when put up against the redeeming power of the sacrifice of Christ and His atoning blood and the power of his resurrection. Every time, when sin comes into contact with Christ power and grace, without failure sin and death loses. When sin comes in contact with the blood of Jesus, sin dies completely but the sinner lives. When death comes into contact with the resurrection power of Jesus Christ, whether it be spiritual death or physical death, death loses and Gods Son that has life in himself wins. Death is swallowed up by the resurrection life and power of Jesus Christ. Jesus died for our sins to put all our sins to death, and he rose again from the dead to bring us all back unto life eternal with him in God. (Colossians 3:1-4) (See also 1 Cor 15:21-22 & 1 Cor 15:45-47).
What Adam did was wrought by man. What Christ did was done by God Himself. You do the comparative math. God wins all the battles that He takes on Himself. The Cross was His work, His own doings and its incredible saving redeeming power is the Power of God. It's redeeming power no man can naturally comprehend. Only thru the power of the Spirit of the Lord can one obtain the glory of the power of the Cross of Christ.
Faith in Jesus and in His atoning blood can overcome and over power sin every time. It was there one minute then thru faith in Christ blood sin is taken away the next by the Power of God. That is the power of the sacrifice of Emmanuel (God with us) who became flesh and shed his own blood to TAKE AWAY the sin of you and me. This is the good news of the gospel.
The Lord can also change your heart and life forever by the power that streams from the same sacrifice. The Holy Spirit and Grace......deno.....share freely.
